This past Monday, Washington University announced plans to increase the resources offered for sexual assault prevention, intervention and victim support. Which is really great, considering that the 2015 Campus Climate Survey showed that sexual assault is still a major issue on campus (especially among transgender, genderqueer or non-conforming, questioning or not listed students (TGQN)) and that despite the introduction of bystander intervention programs, 77 percent of students who saw someone “heading for a drunken sexual encounter” didn’t intervene.

We commend the University for responding concretely to the prevailing issue of sexual violence on campus. More importantly, however, we want to remind the student body itself that these resources are only as effective as their utilization.

The addition of a new Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention (RSVP) center for LGBTQIA* students is especially praiseworthy, as these students tend to more often be victims of sexual assault and harassment. That Wash. U. has also pledged to provide permanent funding for “The Date” and Sexual Assault and Rape Anonymous Helpline (S.A.R.A.H.) is also wonderful—now, a crucial student-run resource for victims won’t need to battle with a publication’s dream house for funding.

The announcement also came with a promise for increased bystander intervention training, which sounds promising given the 77-percent-statistic, but also a little vague. Wash. U. already offers bystander intervention training through LIVE Greek, It’s On Us, a mandatory sexual assault module for incoming freshmen and the lengthier Green Dot program. What “increased bystander intervention training” actually means is important to consider, as the University has already seemingly dedicated considerable resources to these sorts of campaigns since 77 percent of students reported not intervening in the event of a potential sexual assault in 2015.

Washington University has, at a cursory glance, done most things right in terms of offering programming and education surrounding sexual violence. It has taken into account the results of a widespread survey and pursued concrete steps to address the issues illuminated. At some point, however, there’s only so much an administration can do.

It is essentially impossible to get through your freshman year without the basic understanding that only “yes” means yes. Despite mandatory modules and widespread training and all other attempts at education, we still see that sexual violence is a prevalent issue. In 2015, we saw that 10.9 percent of all undergraduate Wash. U. students reported having experienced some form of sexual assault in 2015, and that the number rose to 22.6 percent for female students, and 37.4 percent for TGQN students. We still hear distasteful jokes about sexual assault everywhere from cramped parties to class hallways. We still grimace noncommittally when we hear that our old freshman floormate had a “bad experience” last month, but we are still quick to push those stories to the backs of our minds.

And it keeps happening.

This violence is perpetrated by people who have been educated, in some way, about the importance of consent. It is allowed by people who have been educated about the importance of intervention. At some point, education can only do so much.

More than education, prevention begins with engagement and commitment. It’s not enough to take a pledge or wear a button that says “consent is sexy.” Concrete change only begins with education—it is enacted through cultural overhaul. It’s not enough to simply reform our campus resources. We need to reform the way we think about sexual assault, so the decision to ask for consent or intervene in a non-consensual situation simply spurs action as opposed to discussion groups.

The three hours you go through for Green Dot training, the extra hour of chapter you sit through to hear about bystander intervention, the additional 30 minutes you spend clicking through a mandatory module—none of that matters if you don’t take the two seconds to address a potentially unsafe situation. None of that matters if you don’t take the time to consciously ask your would-be sexual partner if they want it (and to ask yourself if they’re capable of making that decision). None of that matters if you don’t use it.
